RME has no choice really. If they want their gear to be used to make
bluray sound tracks, they have to support 192k. This is the certification
needed by equipment for that use. True, the sound is not any better than
if the studio used 48k and resampled the finished product to 192k (maybe
worse). but this is not about sound quality or RME doing marketing... it
is Hollywood doing the marketing...
